what celestial object could this be

Around fall last year I got up for school at 6 am and notices quite a bright dot in the western sky,I take out my cheap telescope (i think it's called celestron 40) and I take a look at the dot and I saw a dark grey round object with some craters,(definitely not the moon btw if anyone was thinking about it) I first thought it was mercury but then I did some searching and I found out that what I saw was way too big to be mercury,what I saw was around medium sized,but mercury looks way smaller trough a telescope(keep in mind my telescope is nothing too special) what could this celestial object be?

Astro newbie here, why are objects just blurry white circles through my telescope?

I have a Celestron StarSense Explorer LT70az, and i’ve tried using the focuser but that just makes the objects look tiny. What do i do if i want to see any detail?

If the solar system orbits the center of the milky way galaxy, doesn't it mean that in millions of years we'll be able to see celestial objects we haven't seen before?

or see them closer? I'm sorry if one of my premises is incorrect. thanks in advance!

Astronewbie here. Got a telescope as a christmas gift. Tried it out yesterday. What's the blue ring around the moon?

I recreated the New Horizons probe in Roblox.

Apollo 14 commander Alan Shepard took his first steps on the lunar surface today in 1971. It was an incredible next step after becoming the first American in space ten years earlier. Shepard was the only Mercury astronaut to walk on the Moon. https://t.co/llu4rymmcy
